Are you busy trying to learn Spanish?
It’s a beautiful language – and in my opinion significantly
easier to learn than many others, which is a big bonus. However no
language could truly be described as easy to learn, and especially if
you harbour ambitions to get beyond the “Hola, me llamo Antony,
quiero un café con leche por favor,” stage. Having the basics for
getting by in a language is great in itself, but sometimes –
especially if you’re learning Spanish for professional or lifestyle
reasons – you really want to go a lot deeper and further with the
language. If you’re planning a move to a Spanish speaking country,
or your company has a whole bunch of Spanish-speaking clients with
only minimal English skills, it might not even be optional!

So how do you really get your Spanish
language skills up to par? Everyone knows that immersion is the key
to exponentially improve your ability to speak, read and comprehend a
language. The trouble is that it’s not always possible to go and
spend six months in the country of your choice. If only it were! If
it’s just not an option, then what is the closest you can get to
language immersion? There are lots of options available: listening to
streamed Spanish-language radio online, reading Spanish websites,
joining a Spanish conversation group locally etc.

How to learn Spanish fast: Intensive courses‘Immersion’ in language learning describes the process of ‘immersing’ oneself completely, or as much as possible, among native speakers of the language desired, for a relatively short time. For your brain this means it has not time to ‘slip back’ int

But my favourite passive method of
Spanish language immersion is watching DVDs. That’s right! I like
to pop a DVD into the player, settle down in front of the TV, click
through a bunch of menu options with the remote and select “Audio:
Espanol”.

There are a whole lot of DVDs out there
with Spanish audio on them, and I’m not talking about dour arty
Spanish-language films that will leave you depressed! (Just kidding:
there are a lot of great Spanish language films out there, it’s
just not what I’m talking about here. “The Orphanage” and
“Pan’s Labyrinth” are two fantastic recent films in the
original Spanish. But what we’re discussing here are familiar
English language DVDs with Spanish audiotracks.)

Do you love Lost? I mean the
multi-season tale of mysterious islands, battling castaways, smoke
monsters etc.? Then you’ll love it even more in Spanish, right?
(Hey, it’s not like it’s going to be much less or more difficult
to understand whatever language you watch it in…) Yay for Lost
having a Spanish audio track!

Comedy DVDs With Spanish Audio

Maybe Big Bang Theory is more your
style? Personally I can’t get enough of Leonard and his supergeek
courtship of hottie Penny, although Sheldon is quite obviously the
star of the show. (I do have a soft spot for Rajesh, especially when
he’s hammered and makin’ with the ladeez.) But yes! Season Two
(and apparently only Season Two, sadly) comes with Spanish audio.
Ahora, es la teoría de explosión grande! (Be careful: this applies
to versions I have seen, but on Amazon.com it appears to have
Portuguese audio instead.)

How about a cult classic comedy? All
you nerds out there will already know and love Office Space, won’t
you? (If not, you may still be trying to work out the references to a
‘jump to conclusions’ mat in your geek friends’conversations…)
And I can promise you that grooving along to 'Damn It Feels Good To
Be A Gangster' is even funnier when the characters are muttering to
themselves in Spanish...
